He Found My Being Set It Up - meaning Summary
Belonging Claimed by Another
The speaker describes herself as discovered and arranged by another who claims ownership and directs her orientation. He leaves, instructing her to remain faithful in his absence and promising a return with a luxurious convoy — an "Equipage of Amber" — to take her home. The poem concerns surrender of selfhood, the conditional trust between two figures, and the promise of reunion that frames obedience as the price of belonging.
